BOOM: Former Clinton Adviser Exposes Secret Behind Polls

Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her cronies are blaming her recent drop in the polls on FBI Director James Comey’s announcement that the agency was reopening an investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server, but the truth is that Clinton was falling behind in the polls even before that announcement.

In a posting on his website over the weekend, political author, commentator and former Clinton White House adviser Dick Morris cited an an ABC poll that was conducted a week before Comey’s Oct. 28 announcement. That poll showed Clinton with a 12-point national lead over Republican nominee Donald Trump. By the end of that week, a new poll conducted by the same network found there was only a 1-point lead for Clinton.

According to Morris, there’s a simple explanation. The combined effect of Trump finally airing negative ads about Clinton on a widespread basis, the obscene health insurance premium hikes being caused by the Democrats’ Obamacare law, and the damaging drip of WikiLeaks email revelations showing the sordid side of the Clinton campaign had all combined to hurt Clinton in the polls before the FBI bombshell.

The ad campaign might have been the biggest factor. After months of Clinton’s ads about the billionaire businessman dominating the networks, Trump recently released his share of negative ads against the Democrat in the major swing states. Just days later, Trump donated $10 million of his own money to fund his campaign’s efforts. The negative ads have been “devastatingly effective,” Morris wrote.

Secondly, reports have shown that Obamacare premiums are on the rise across the nation, with an average premium hike of 25 percent. Trump has repeatedly said that he intends to “repeal and replace Obamacare” should he be elected. Now that premiums are on the rise, Americans are starting to agree with Trump — and seeing Clinton as a stand-in for the law.

Finally, Morris said that Clinton’s WikiLeaks woes are far from over. Every day, more and more voters realize that Clinton continues to cover up her lies and refuses to address the investigation into her use of a private email server. As a result, voters believe that their best bet is to elect a non-politician for president.

The point of all this is that if Clinton’s poll numbers were dropping even before the FBI director announced her email scandal is once again under federal investigation, they’re not not likely to start rising after it.
